Question

The molar mass of barium nitrate (ba(no3)2) is 261.35 g/mol. what is the mass of 5.30 × 1022 formula units of ba(no3)2? 0.0900 g 12.0 g 23.0 g 3,130 g

Answer 1

Molar mass is the ratio of the mass to that amount of the substance. The mass of the barium nitrate in the formula unit is 23.0 grams.

What is mass?

The mass of a substance is the product of the molar mass of the compound and the number of moles of the compound.

Given,

Molar mass of barium nitrate = 261.35 g/mol

If, $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ have a mass of 261.35 g/mol then, $5.30 \times 10^{22}$ formula units will have a mass of,

$\begin{aligned}& = \dfrac{261.35 \times 5.30 \times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\\\\&= 23.0\;\rm gm\end{aligned}$

Therefore, option C. 23.0 gm is the mass of barium nitrate.
